What air motion causes cloud formation and causes the winds to converge into cyclones?
Winds
How does the lack of atmosphere affect the temperatures on mercury?
Mercury has the thinnest atmosphere so the fast winds from blown up stars go to the thin atmosphere, it will be easier to get in and change the atmosphere
What causes solar storms?
Solar winds are caused by charged particles that are ejected into the upper atmosphere of the sun. The sun continues to make these streams of charged particles and sending them into space.
Where can the antitrade winds can be found?
Antitrade winds are the winds that blow high in the atmosphere (not at the surface) from the equator to about 30 degrees. They are a part of the Hadley Cell.
Is Venus windy?
Yes! Very strong winds are in the upper atmosphere of Venus.
What effect does the rapid spin of Uranus have on its winds?
It causes massive, violent storms to form in the atmosphere.
How can you use wind power?
wind power is caused by the sun and heats the atmosphere, this causes normal winds.
What is the meaning of the word 'storm'?
Any disturbance in the atmosphere that causes winds that differ from the prevailing winds, unusual pressure and/or temperature changes, and possibly some form of preciptiation
Which portion of Earth's atmosphere are the trade winds in?
The Trade Winds are in the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The Trade Winds blow near the equator. They are so called as trade in the days of sail relied upon these winds.
What air motion causes cloud formation and causes the winds to converge into cyclones?
Winds
If there is no atmosphere on Mars how can there be winds?
There IS atmosphere on Mars. It's quite thin compared to Earth's, but it's substantial enough for winds to occur.
Where does the atmosphere exert pressure?
The earths winds
What are the winds high in the atmosphere'?
The jet stream.
Does the sun influence the formation of winds on the earth's surface?
To the extent that the sun warms the atmosphere, and varying temperatures within the atmosphere are the basis of winds, yes.
How does this motion affect global winds?
it causes the winds to curb
How do differences in atmosphere pressure create winds?
As dense, cool air moves into a low-pressure region , the less dense, warmer air is pushed upward. These pressure differences, which are the result of the unequal heating that causes convection, create winds.
Does the planet Venus have high winds?
Yes, in the upper atmosphere high winds have been observed.
